CommunityHealth treated
more than 10,500 patients
It is estimated that, despite new health
coverage options, as many as 513,000
residents of Cook County will remain
uninsured in 2018
Dear Friends,
One year ago in our Annual Report, we
reaffirmed our promise to be the medical home
for low-income, uninsured adults and committed
to strengthening that mission as the Affordable
Care Act rolled out.
This year, we are pleased to report the ways
in which our steadfast hold on this promise
has opened new doors for CommunityHealth,
and how CommunityHealth has opened doors
for longtime and new patients. After 22 years
serving Chicago’s most vulnerable residents and
neighborhoods, CommunityHealth continues
to evolve to meet the changing needs of Cook
County. Today, we are the largest free clinic in
the nation, providing 23,000 medical and dental
visits and filling nearly 70,000 prescriptions for
our patients in 2014.
This year, we held our doors open and wished
many of our longtime patients well as they
gained insurance and moved to new medical
homes made possible by the Affordable Care
Act (ACA). After comprehensive training and
certification, our in-house navigators were able
to help our patients understand the new law and
determine their eligibility for insurance coverage
through Medicaid or the marketplace. Our
navigators assisted long-time CommunityHealth
patients, as well as other community members
who simply needed help understanding the
ACA. All were provided the caring and personal
attention for which CommunityHealth is known.
to provide the medical and dental care,
pharmaceuticals, health education and
social services that uninsured adults so
desperately need.
Since many of our patients did move to new
medical homes, this year we were pleased to be
able to offer new patients quick access to initial
appointments. In partnership with nonprofits
working with adults reentering our community
after incarceration and organizations serving the
homeless, we reached out to new populations in
need of our services. In total, we welcomed 1,114
new patients to CommunityHealth.
Our increased capacity revealed another open
door: the opportunity to serve individuals who
needed a medical home during a critical time of
transition. We welcomed patients who lacked
health insurance because they were between
jobs, or while they were waiting for approval of
their new Medicaid enrollment. Many of them,
such as Tara, who you will meet later in this
report, became advocates for CommunityHealth.
In 2018, more than 500,000 residents
of Cook County still will not have health
insurance despite the Affordable Care Act.
CommunityHealth is proud to continue
The Affordable Care Act has brought significant
changes to the health care landscape on both
the national and local levels. However, the
need for high quality, individualized and
compassionate care remains constant –
prompting CommunityHealth to reaffirm our
commitment to those who still struggle to
access essential health care. We thank you –
our donors, partners, and volunteers for your
belief in our mission and support of our work.
Thanks to you, our doors remain open for the
thousands of individuals who, like Tara, turn to
CommunityHealth for their care.

PATIENT PROFILE
“You never think you’re
going to get knocked down”
Y
ou never think you’re going to
get knocked down,” says Tara
Schnaible. Tara was 24 years old
and living on her own for the first time in
Chicago when she found CommunityHealth.
She had two college degrees and had just
begun her first full time job.
Young and healthy, Tara didn’t think
much about the fact that her job did not
provide benefits for the first six months of
employment... until she developed flu-like
symptoms that kept her in bed for a week.
Without extra cash for an urgent care clinic,
Tara didn’t know where to turn, but she
knew she needed medical attention quickly.
She found CommunityHealth during
a desperate online search.
Tara never imagined that she would need
to find free health care. She says she will
not ever forget how it felt to walk into
CommunityHealth’s West Town clinic.
“Every single person – from the receptionist
to the doctors - wanted to help me and
make me feel better. It was such a warm and
caring environment. Right when I felt most
vulnerable, they were there for me.” Tara
saw a doctor, received her medication from
CommunityHealth’s MedAccess Pharmacy,
and began to feel better almost immediately.
In 2014, CommunityHealth made a
deliberate decision to open our doors to
individuals like Tara, who need a medical
home during a period of transition.
Our volunteer doctors and nurses and
technicians have provided office visits,
medications and guidance to people who
are between jobs, awaiting citizenship or
pending approval for insurance coverage.
If she had not found CommunityHealth,
Tara estimates that she would have
suffered longer at home and eventually
been forced to go to an Emergency
Room. CommunityHealth enabled her
to avoid hospital bills that would have
been debilitating and, more importantly
according to Tara, to access personal care
from a team of professionals who took their
time to make sure she had everything she
needed to recuperate. CommunityHealth’s
mission is to be a medical home; for no
matter how long or short our patients
need us, we are committed to providing a
welcoming and caring experience for all
who walk through our doors.
Tara’s singular experience at
CommunityHealth stayed with her. She
told anyone she met who was in a similar
situation about CommunityHealth.
As soon as she was able, she set up a
monthly donation, and she is proud to be
a CommunityHealth donor. Each month,
she takes a moment to think about her
donation and remember the valuable
care she received at CommunityHealth.
“Healthcare should be a basic human
right,” she says, “but it is not. I give because
CommunityHealth provides that right, and
so much more, for those that need it,
whenever they need it.”

DONOR PROFILE
Crown Family
Philanthropies
F
or more than fifteen years, the
Crown Family has provided support
for CommunityHealth to open doors
– and keep doors open – for thousands
of patients in need of a medical home.
Christy Prahl, Crown Family Philanthropies
program officer, says that the foundation’s
partnership sets “an important example in
the changing face of healthcare.”
“The Crown Family has a deep and
longstanding commitment to free health
clinics for those that are most vulnerable,”
says Ms. Prahl, “and CommunityHealth
provides culturally competent care for all.”
As the Affordable Care Act opens new
doors for many CommunityHealth patients,
the Crown Family remains committed to
ensuring a safety net under the safety net
for those who continue to need free health
care. CommunityHealth’s work helps
patients who are eligible for new health care
to access it so that space is available for the
most vulnerable to find their medical home
at CommunityHealth.
Over the years, Crown Family
Philanthropies has provided many types
of funding for CommunityHealth. The
foundation’s longstanding commitment
to access to quality health care aligns
with CommunityHealth’s mission to serve
those without essential health care in the
interest of delivering healthier communities.
“CommunityHealth has proven that its highquality staff and efficient model help achieve
that shared mission. The Crown Family
continues to support CommunityHealth
because they want to sustain resources
where those resources are doing the most
good,” says Ms. Prahl.
Ms. Prahl also recognizes CommunityHealth’s
key role in the new healthcare landscape as
not only a provider of health care, but also as a
thought leader in the overall discourse around
the changes in health care and the impact of
the Affordable Care Act. She has participated
in many of CommunityHealth’s events,
discussions and stakeholder meetings.
